MachinimUWA5: The Last Syllable of Recorded Time

The MachinimUWA5 movies are starting to be released in
readiness for the deadline of 30th June and prize pool of L$725,000

I recently attended the premiere of Ambrosia Lanley’s ‘The
Unveiling’ which I thought was very well done. Ambrosia
invested over 400 hours of work over six weeks on this movie and her hard
effort shows. My only “criticism” – if “criticism” is indeed the right word –
is that I couldn’t really see the connection with the UWA5 theme of “Seeking
Wisdom”. But please do not let that put you off watching it – the film commends
itself in and of itself, irrespective of any reference to UWA5.

Over the next few weeks I’ll get around to watching all the UWA5 entries. I will embed here those which especially tweak my interest.

Confession time: Contrary to prior promises I may not be
able to enter. Sorry but time is against me.

It could very well be then that the nearest I will get to
“entering” UWA5 is my cameo appearances in Tutsy’s
latest movie.

“The Last Syllable of
Recorded Time” was filmed at a number of regions in Second Life, including
some scenes from when Tutsy and I visited ‘Daytime Dreams’ created by .::DoL::.. I have extensively blogged our
experiences on that region here.

I am not going to go on too much about this movie but
instead hope that you take the time to watch it. The one thing I would say
about it – or rather, I am now the third to say it after Larkworthy Antfarm and Iono Allen – is that it uses an absolutely
beautiful colour palette.

Tutsy’s delicacy of touch and deftness in post-production
colour correction/management is I think more apparent in this film than any of
his previous machinima.

I believe that this dexterity with colour is one of the four
or five factors which mark out Tutsy’s machinima amongst others. In this film particularly
Tutsy demonstrates that he is first and foremost an artist; an artist who just
happens to be currently working in the media of machinima.

To really grok what Larkworthy, Iono and I are referring to
you need to watch “The Last Syllable of
Recorded Time” at 1080i but, regardless, you can still very much enjoy it
at lesser resolutions.
